Be With You Awhile
Alice Cooper · The Eyes Of Alice Cooper
I wish I could give you something you didn`t owe
I wish I could tell you a joke to make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
Just wanna be that someone you weren`t looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you`re sad and blue my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
I just want to take you somewhere you haven`t been
Find an old time movie where we don`t know the end
Lost in the radio, drive another mile
So I could be with you awhile
Just wanna be that someone you weren`t looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you`re sad and blue my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
Tired of serious conversation
Tangled up in situations
I feel so free 'cause you want nothing from me
Just wanna be that someone you weren`t looking for
Some hopeless vagabond asleep there on your floor
And when you`re old and gray my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
Just wanna be that someone you weren`t looking for
Some nameless fascination that showed up at your door
And when you`re old and gray my jokes still make you smile
And I could be with you awhile
I just want to be with you awhile
I just want to be with you awhile
I just want to be with you....

It serves as a reminder of the nuanced storytelling present throughout his extensive body of work.
